Hyphema - Blood clot in the eye

Hyphema - Blood clot in the eye

This patient came with injury to the eye while playing cricket. He has blurring of vision and dull ache.

Incidentally on examination a small hyphema ( Blood clot) is seen in the eye. Luckily there seems no other injury effects in the eye as of now.

Hopefully he should do well with medicines.
This brings out the debate of wearing protective glasses while playing as there have been incidences of loss of vision and other grave injuries.
